Safeguarding Matters has been set up by the team that prepared the Vetting and Barring Scheme for roll-out. As the scheme went across several government departments we are aware of the complex number of policies and organisations involved in establishing safeguarding best practice. From presenting to thousands of stakeholders we are aware of the questions and issues you face. We have been also been involved in aspects of the review of the principles of the VBS and the criminal records regime following the election.

We organise open briefing events about the impact of the reviews and the changing world of safeguarding. We also welcome opportunities to work together with other professionals and consultants to offer an independent and pragmatic view of the emerging world of safeguarding.
